WINDS OF DESTINY

Post by Cropduster » Mon Nov 30, 2015 5:57 am

WINDS OF DESTINY

Blow forth, o winds of destiny
and all that ye shall bring.
With wetted sail, I'll chart a course
to lands where I'll be king.

Blow strong, oh winds of destiny.
Forge on to futures green,
with fertile soil, and fish and game
and treasures yet unseen.

Blow hard, oh winds of destiny
for time is not to waste.
I hear my siren's plaintive song.
Make haste, my friend, make haste.

Blow soft, now winds of destiny.
I'm at my journey's end.
My home, my land, my love, my heart.
are now mine to defend.

Thanks Heather. I tweaked it a little as some lines were troubling me.

Always glad to raise a smile :D

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.
